February 22, 2021
gdk-pixbuf vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 20.10
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Summary:
GDK-PixBuf could be made to crash if it opened a specially crafted file.
Software Description:
- gdk-pixbuf: GDK Pixbuf library
Details:
It was discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle
certain GIF images. If an user or automated system were tricked into
opening a specially crafted GIF file, a remote attacker could use this flaw
to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 20.10:
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.40.0+dfsg-5ubuntu0.2
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make all
the necessary changes.
